Pain.
Then darkness.
Then—
"WAAAHHH—"
The sound was embarrassingly high-pitched.
He was crying.
No.
He was a baby.
Wait. No. No no no no—
His thoughts were intact.
His adult mind. His memories. His countless nights binge-reading Soul Land fanfiction while complaining about Tang San's plot armor.
He blinked his tiny eyes.
Wooden ceiling. Thatched roof.
Smell of herbs and damp earth.
"Healthy boy! Strong spirit vitality!" someone laughed.
The words were in Douluo dialect.
He froze.
Douluo…?
His heart pounded.
No way.
Memories flooded back.
Truck-kun.
A bright flash.
Regret that he never got to see Bibi Dong's redemption arc rewritten properly.
Then—
A translucent blue panel appeared before his infant vision.
[Heavenly Diary System Activated]
Host: ???World: Douluo ContinentReward Mechanism: Daily Diary Entry
Write.Influence.Ascend.
He almost blacked out again.
This… this is real.
More lines appeared.
Rules:
One diary entry per day minimum.
Emotional depth increases reward multiplier.
Names written repeatedly increase Karmic Threads.
Random qualified individuals may receive diary copies.
Fate Disruption Bonus applicable.
He stopped crying instantly.
The midwife blinked.
"What a calm baby…"
Inside, however—
He was screaming.
System. Diary. Fate disruption.
He was reborn into Soul Land.
And he knew the future.
A slow grin formed on his infant face.
Dangerous.
Very dangerous.
Years later.
Six years old.
Village Spirit Hall.
Children lined up nervously.
He stood quietly at the back, black hair tied loosely, eyes sharp far beyond his age.
He had already confirmed something terrifying.
Every midnight, a blank diary page appeared in his mind.
When he "wrote" using thought, it filled with golden script.
And the first five entries had already rewarded him.
+2 innate spirit power
Body strengthening serum
Minor perception enhancement
Meditation technique upgrade
And…
A mysterious "Affinity Seed."
He didn't know what that one did yet.
"Next."
His turn.
He stepped forward and placed his hand on the crystal ball.
Light exploded outward.
Brilliant.
Stronger than expected.
The Spirit Hall deacon gasped.
"Innate spirit power… level 8?!"
Murmurs erupted.
But that wasn't what shocked him.
Behind him—
A faint golden thread flickered from nowhere… attaching to his chest.
System notification blinked.
[Karmic Thread Formed: Xiao Wu]
Copy Holder Confirmed.
His pupils shrank.
Wait.
Xiao Wu?
She wasn't even here yet.
Which meant—
Somewhere.
At this very moment.
A pink-haired rabbit girl had just received a diary copy.
Midnight.
He lay in bed, staring at the wooden ceiling.
The diary page appeared.
He hesitated.
If Xiao Wu had a copy…
Then she was reading.
Testing time.
He began writing mentally.
[Diary Entry #6]
So today I awakened level 8 innate spirit power.Better than expected.
If I remember correctly, Xiao Wu should arrive at Notting Academy soon.
She's innocent. Cheerful. Stronger than she pretends.Also ridiculously cute.
If fate follows canon, she'll meet Tang San.
But…
Why should I let that happen?
He paused.
Waited.
Nothing.
Then—
A second notification.
[Copy Holder Emotional Fluctuation Detected]
Minor Reward Granted
His breathing stopped.
She reacted.
He continued writing.
Xiao Wu is actually a 100,000-year soul beast in human form.
She trusts easily.Laughs brightly.But hides loneliness.
If someone understood her secret early…Would she still choose Tang San?
Another notification.
[Fate Ripple Initiated]Reward Multiplier x1.3
He slowly sat up.
Heart pounding.
This system isn't just rewards.
It's influence.
Somewhere.
Perhaps in a quiet forest.
A pink-haired girl was reading words that exposed her deepest secret.
And she didn't know who wrote them.
He smiled faintly.
Then continued.
Don't worry, Xiao Wu.If we meet…
I won't hurt you.
I'm not Tang San.I don't need destiny to choose me.
I'll make my own.
The page glowed.
[Reward Granted: Spirit Power +1 Level]Current Level: 9
He exhaled slowly.
Six years old.
Level 9.
And canon hadn't even begun.
Outside, the moonlight shimmered.
In another location—
A certain rabbit girl clutched a glowing diary, heart racing.
"Who… is he?"
And for the first time—
Fate shifted.
